Making Cream Cheese Mints is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Flavoring: Mix in the peppermint extract (or your choice of extract) until well combined.
3. Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick but manageable.
4. Add Food Coloring: If using, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve your desired shade. Mix until the color is uniform.
5. Shape the Mints: Using your hands, roll small amounts of the mixture into balls or shape them into other desired forms.
6. Coat with Sugar: Roll each mint in granulated sugar to give them a sweet outer layer.
7. Chill: Place the mints on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
8. Serve or Store: Once set, enjoy the mints immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
